Preview Game 12: Bills vs. Redskins
Hello Bills fans. This Sunday the Buffalo Bills travel to FedEx field to take on the Washington Redskins. This is a must win to stay in the playoff hunt. The Redskins are playing with heavy hearts due to the death of Sean Taylor. This is going to be an extremely tough game because the skins are going to want this one for their fallen teammate. Here are the key matchups to this week’s game.
Trent Edwards vs. Redskins defense: Rookie quarterback Trent Edwards will start this week in place of J.P. Losman. It looks like its now Edwards job to lose. Trent must be smart with the football this week. For the Bills to win this one, he has to be accurate and poised in the pocket. Look for Josh Reed and Roscoe Parrish to have big games. Edwards is great at leading his receivers and allowing them to get yards after the catch. I would love to see Lee Evans have a breakout game. Edwards will look to Evans to get the offense rolling.
Clinton Portis vs. Bills Defense. This is going to be a tough task for the Bills. Starting defensive end Chris Kelsay is out this week. Anthony Hargrove and Ryan Denney must fill in and be effective in run support. The defense cannot let Portis outside and must contain him to win this game. It seems like we haven’t had a fumble recovery in forever. I would like to see John McCargo bust up a running play and force a fumble. Look for the Bills to put eight guys at the line of scrimmage to minimize Portis in the run game.
This is a very winnable game for the Bills. The Redskins come into the game with the same record and have struggled at times. The main thing is our offense must move the ball and score touchdowns instead of settling for field goals. Trent must lead this team and find a win to get a win. I do feel that running back Fred Jackson will do well in place of A-Train. My prediction…..Bills 24 Redskins 20
